When I get a laptop with Win7 Pro and join our domain, work's fine. The Network manager sees it as a Domain profile, can access servers via their names etc Brilliant.

Now, onto Win 7 Enterprise and Ultimate. Joins the domain, OK. But unable to access the servers via name; but you can by IP address. Network manager says the network is a domain but after 20 mins or so, it changes from Domain to Work network profile. Why?

Under Work profile, I regained access to the servers via the name (instead of typing the IP). Why?

This seems to be limited to Enterprise and Ultimate as 3 of our laptops have the same issue.

This seems to be a system issue within the laptop network settings. Have you tried going into the network settings and making sure that both the Local Nic adapter and the wireless Nics are set to Work profile? The reason it won't work under public profile is because it is to my knowledge supposed to limit what can be accessed and how to protect the network.
